Thanks for the review.

That's right. When devices can use full caching, the system cache will
also be used. Otherwise when devices can't allocate/use inner caches,
system cache (Outer WBRWA, and IC NC) is the option.

will remove it.

IIUC, with QUIRK_NO_INNER_CACHE, we would explicitly handle the case
of non I/O-coherent devices that can't use inner caches.
Other devices will have coherent view of inner as well as outer caches
(including system cache).
Do I understand you correctly?
